We guarantee the puppy to be in good health, to the best of our knowledge at the time of sale. To keep this guarantee valid, the puppy must be examined by a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours of receipt of the puppy. If the veterinarian finds the puppy unhealthy, unfit, or unsound in any way, the puppy must be returned to the breeder within 72 hours of purchase, accompanied by a certificate or statement from the vet. The seller assumes no responsibility for charges incurred by the buyer for this service. The seller will give the purchaser a replacement puppy of equal value when one is available. Purchaser agrees that the seller would never knowingly sell a sick puppy and could not have been aware of any illness or defect and will not be held responsible for such. If a puppy is found to have a health problem at its initial veterinary visit and purchaser opts to treat this puppy instead of exchanging it for another puppy, the seller will not be held responsible for any expenses incurred or for the death of the puppy, and no refunds or replacements will be made, nor will any credits be issued.
Common parasites, fleas, ticks, worms, coccidia, etc. are not cause for replacement as they are not genetic problems. We do not guarantee that this is a show puppy, suitable for breeding or the size and color of this puppy. No money shall be refunded and the seller shall not be held responsible for any veterinarian bills. Cherry eye and entropia are not life threatening defects and are not reasons for returning a puppy as well.
If a life threatening hereditary/genetic problem arises within twelve months of the purchase of the puppy, the breeder will replace the puppy with a puppy of equal value when available. This replacement will only happen if breeder’s vet receives a copy from purchaser’s vet with findings and any exams/tests performed and, breeder’s vet agrees with purchaser’s vet. Purchaser is responsible for costs to return puppy to breeder. If the puppy dies for any reason within 12 months from time of purchase and it is agreeable to both purchaser’s vet and breeder’s vet that it is because of a hereditary defect, the breeder will replace the puppy with a puppy of equal value when available. This will happen only after an autopsy is performed on the puppy and the breeder’s vet agrees with the findings. This will be done at the purchaser’s expense. A copy of the autopsy report and a copy of any tests or treatments performed on the puppy by the purchaser’s vet must be supplied within 72 hours of the puppies death or as soon as it becomes available. In the event that the puppy’s death is the result of abuse or negligent treatment, this guarantee will not apply and the breeder will not replace the puppy.
Should the purchaser decide to have any non-life threatening defect of any kind repaired on the puppy at any time in the puppy’s life, all costs for the puppy’s surgery etc. will be the financial responsibility of the purchaser. Breeder will not be responsible for any of these expenses.
*** Any returned animal must be accompanied by any and all paperwork supplied by the seller at the time of sale, as well as a written statement from a licensed veterinarian stating a) all shots are up to date and have been kept up to date b) dog has been kept on heart worm preventative medication, c) dog appears to be healthy and well cared for ***
This agreement is a “condition of sale” and applies to all our dogs and puppies.
Violation of this agreement invalidates all other guarantees.
Purchaser does hereby agree to take good and reasonable care of this puppy, including but not limited to the following:
1. Purchaser must provide all required immunizations from time of purchase. Puppy must have all puppy boosters recommended by their veterinarian after leaving the premises. Puppies must also have rabies vaccine when recommended by their veterinarian as well as a booster each year. Any parasites, internal or external, must be promptly eliminated. Puppy must be started on heart worm preventative as soon as veterinarian feels it is appropriate.
2. Clean, fresh water and proper food, in sufficient amounts must be provided. Puppy must be kept clean warm and dry. Puppy may not be allowed out unattended unless within a secure enclosure.
3. This puppy is not to be harshly physically reprimanded at any time.
Should the purchaser decide at any time in the puppy’s life to dispose of or give away the puppy for any reason whatsoever, the breeder must be notified immediately and the puppy/dog must be returned to the breeder. It is at the purchaser’s expense to return the puppy to the breeder. The puppy/dog must never under any circumstances be surrendered to any animal shelter or humane society. No money will be refunded or paid to the purchaser by the breeder for the returned puppy/dog. The breeder believes that purchasing a puppy is a life long commitment and should not be entered into lightly. The breeder assumes the purchaser is aware of future costs for upkeep, food, vet costs, training, and the purchaser is willing to supply these and also to supply love, time, and patience that the puppy will require for its life. The breeder feels there should be no need for the puppy to have to be surrendered or disposed of at some time in its life if the purchaser is a responsible pet owner. The breeder is available to answer questions, make suggestions and will try to help if contacted.
If all and every one of the conditions are not met by the purchaser, the breeder will not be responsible to replace the puppy. The puppy will not be replaced due to house training problems. It takes a lot of time and patience to house train a puppy. Purchaser needs to be aware that puppies often cry in the beginning as it is a change for them to be away from their litter mates and they may be lonely especially in the middle of the night. This is all part of puppy parenthood and should not be entered in lightly or in the spur of the moment. With love, time and much patience you will have a wonderful puppy that grows into a wonderful companion.
***Puppy training school is highly recommended by this breeder***
The purchaser has read the preceding terms and agrees to abide by all of them by signing this contract. They understand that under no circumstances will the seller be responsible for veterinarian bills and no cash refunds will be given by the breeder after 72 hours and only under the above mentioned circumstances.
